Freckle tattoos are a thing!
Updated | By Charis Apelgren-Coleman
There's a new tattoo trend on the rise - freckles!
Women are having freckles tattooed on their faces in semi-permanent ink. Yup, freckles are in!
Freckle tattooing involves the use of pigments to ink freckle-like dots onto a person’s face that eventually blend in with the person's skin tone.
Montreal-based cosmetic tattoo artist Gabrielle Rainbow is considered one of the pioneers of the beauty trend. She says she was inspired by a friend who had become tired of constantly having to paint them on her face with make-up.
Speaking to New Beauty, she said: "Before tattooing her, I experimented on myself—I really don't recommend tattooing your own face—but once I saw that it worked out, and I liked the effect, I decided to do hers."

We love freckles, but this seems a bit extreme? Would you give it a try?
